You will all be pleased to know that I still am alive, sorry I haven't been updating this very much. I am now going to do make a concerted effort. Today is pancake day… yey! The people in work don't understand the idea of pancake day, they are missing out I feel. To uphold the tradition I forced Daniel and Ian to partake in pancake night. I must say the batter turned out very well, but the pancakes were slightly deformed. There has been a bit of a curfuffle ...

I still think that given the choice between Sydney and Melbourne I would pick Sydney but Melbourne does definitely have some really cool areas. So at the moment I am working in a Greek Deli in the next suburb over, its blooming hard work but its so nice to have money coming in.

We got the lift up the 88floors and were greeted with views over the whole of Melbourne. ...

IT IS TOO HOT TO DO ANYTHING!!!! So I did nothing all day!!!! In the evening when the temp dropped to 35degrees so I went to ST Kilda to try and go to the lunar park with the guys. I actually wanted to cry when we saw the sign that said, " lunar park shut due to extreme weather" I think I am destined to never ride the big wheel.
